I discovered lucid dreaming about five years ago in a Michael Powell book called "Mind Games". But I was already experiencing multiple false awakenings, floating out of body and conscious dreaming when I was only four or five.

"Empty cognizance of one taste, suffused with knowing, is your unmistaken nature, the uncontrived original state. when not altering what is, allow it to be as it is, and the awakened state is right now spontaneously present."

Through a spiritual lesson that covered various topics, including Astral Projection, Chakras, higher dimensions, meditation, and of course, lucid dreaming.

"Saying 'I have 100$' is like saying 'I have 100 inches'. Inches of what? Ropes? Books? iPads? Money can be a means and a tool to get what you want. But remember, in a camping experience, money is only good for kindling and wiping your butt."

When i was younger maybe 16 or 17 i had three out of body experiences without knowing what they were. they scared me and i called a local radio station that runs a phone in and spoke to the host who is heavily into ghosts, strange phenomena, the unexplained etc etc and when i described what happened to me he said i had just perfectly described out of body experiences. after that i got interested in that kind of stuff, got myself the internet, did lots of research and stumbled upon ' lucid dreaming'. Since then i've never had out of body type stuff and over the years i've had a few lucid dreams without really trying. the past week or so i've actively tried to go lucid and i've been successfull everytime. I must be open to this kind of stuff naturally!
